Chapter 6 — How to Buy Your Own Barrel
Fresh source audit against the verified 2016 second-edition copy. PDF250–253 freshly reread: private selection is curation of existing whiskey, not authorship of the distillation. The Woodford example explicitly blends two barrels on252; do not classify every private selection as single-barrel. Retailer/distributor arrangements, costs, bottling proofs and hospitality are descriptions from this edition, not current terms or legal guidance. Sensory preference here is not demonstrated blind superiority.
